Rating: 5/5Great Software

Cons: - The price structure seems prohibitive (HD audio streams and 7.1 SS are only supported in the Ultra package)

Other Thoughts: The cost of this software is pretty high when you consider you can almost buy a free standing Blu Ray player for this amount that does everything this software does. They should probably consider dropping the price of ownership to around $50 for the Ultra and I bet they'd sell more.

Rating: 3/5Haswell owners be warned!!

This review is from: CyberLink PowerDVD 13 Ultra - Download

Pros: Cleaner interface than earlier versions.

Cons: Does not play Blu ray movies correctly

Other Thoughts: I have been using PowerDVD 11 Ultra on my Ivy Bridge desktop for over a year and have been relatively satisfied. When I got my new laptop with a Haswell i7-4800MQ I installed my version of PDVD 11 on it but could not get a Blu ray movie to play, receiving a message of "No disk in drive E:". I reported the issue to Cyberlink and they are working on the problem saying there is an apparent issue with PDVD 11 and certain systems running Haswell. I downloaded the trial version of PowerDVD 13 Ultra and my laptop has the same problem. After trying a different BD-RE drive (which also did not work) I discovered that if I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager and rebooted the system it would play the movie(s). If I rebooted again without first uninstalling the drive the No disk... problem returned. In other words, the only way to play a Blu ray disc is to uninstall the drive and reboot the system EACH TIME. Standard DVDs and CDs worked fine. The only issue was with Blu ray discs.

I also reported back to Cyberlink and informed them the problem I had with PDVD 11 Ultra has carried over into the new version, PDVD 13 Ultra. Cyberlink claims they're working on a fix but it won't be ready till October.

I gave the program 3 stars because it does work with other media, just not Blu ray and Cyberlink appears to be trying to debug the program. If you have no need to produce, edit or watch HD content, you're good to go.

And by the way. After having this problem I downloaded the trial version of Arcsoft's TrueMedia Theatre 6 and everything works fine using that program. It's just not quite as feature laden as PowerDVD 13 Ultra.
